Chapter 246 Hotel Boom? (Daily Transition)

2015 was a very strange year.

Europe's attitude toward cash flow has become increasingly nuanced.

Major sports stars have entered the tourism industry.

Messi is planning to buy a seaside resort south of Barcelona.

Cristiano Ronaldo established the first CR7 Hotel in his hometown of Madeira.

Neymar, Suarez, Bale, Benzema and others are also investing across Europe.

Some people gain and some people lose.

Peake's business is very successful.

Buffon was the master strategist and led Balotelli to lose money repeatedly.

Rome, Italy.

The sun is shining and the umbrella pines are tall and straight.

clap clap clap!
Gun salutes were fired and champagne was poured.

At the climax of the hotel opening ceremony, Gao Qi and his assistant took the scissors with a forced smile.

Click.

The taut little red flower loosened and fell to the ground, and bursts of warm applause rang out all around.

Morata asked in confusion: "Today is a good day to celebrate, why don't you look very happy?"

The assistant sighed and whispered, "It's too abominable. During the renovation of the hotel, the environmental protection department and fire department in Rome fined us a lot of money. They came to check every few days and even reached out for brandy and cigars."

"The hotel doesn't have those problems at all, but it's no use taking it to the city hall and the courts."

"."

"It took us almost a year to be allowed to open."

Gao Qi smiled and shook his head.

In Italy, what is happening is quite normal.

I am optimistic and think things are not as bad as I imagined.

Buying this mid-range hotel did not take up much of his funds.

As for why you opened your first hotel in Rome?
Gao Qi himself couldn't explain it clearly.

The capital investment was very small for him, and he finalized it as soon as he got the plan.

The news that Gao Qi opened a hotel in Rome did not occupy too many public resources on the Chinese Internet.

But it was still noticed by many fans.

Comment area.
-
[A toilet that Gao Qi cleaned himself? I really want to sit on it. 】
-
[Agoda can find Gaoqi's hotel! The price is not expensive, I can afford it in the past! ]
-
[Isn't Agoda a booking site in Asia? ]
-
[It started to enter the European market two years ago, and I heard that it will soon change its name to: Ankoda. ]
-
[My family owns a hotel. In the past, during the two annual Canton Fairs, AccorHotels and Booking.com would send many foreign guests, but they all paid commissions on delivery. My mother didn’t know how to transfer the commissions to their nickname accounts, which resulted in arrears for eight or nine years. Later, a law firm in Qingdao called to collect the payment. The attorney was very nice and well-educated, and said there was no penalty for overdue payment.]
-
【Did you give them a commission in the end? 】
-
[It was given to me before the hotel went bankrupt. My parents had guarded the land with the hotel for twelve years before it was expropriated. The hotel went bankrupt and my family paid off all the debts. We had a lot of money left, but I lost it all in gambling.]

The hotel's general manager is a Chinese national and a football fan. He previously worked in the strategic department of a domestic hotel group.

After observing the surrounding environment, he confidently took out a plan for the business customer channel during the interview, and comprehensively calculated the month-on-month and year-on-year data. He also expressed his intention to transform one floor of the hotel into a medium-sized conference room to match the number of rooms.

Don't use any professional terms all the time.

They will not make their resume as thick as a book like the Indians do.

“Agoda and Booking.com cannot have too large a share of customers.”

"Attraction agents in France and Kenya send many tour groups to us every year, but they are the mothers who provide milk for us, so there is no need to waste too much time maintaining relationships."

"Especially guests from Kenya, they cause too much damage to the rooms."

"I am a die-hard fan of Gao Qi. I will devote myself to helping Gao Qi stabilize the hotel's cash flow and outperform inflation."

It’s not about making money, but about stabilizing cash flow and beating inflation?

This statement won him the position of general manager of the hotel.

This guy even specially coaxed in several international students who were fluent in Tuscan. After half a month of training, they were in high spirits. Before opening the business, they went out to all directions with their business cards and agreements. One student even went to an industrial zone thousands of miles away.

As a result, during the trial operation phase, they made the surrounding Italian independent hotels suffer.

During this historical period, the new store strategy of a certain Chinese hotel brand has completely destroyed the independent hotels in China, not to mention the Italians who are slow and undemanding.

When Gao Qi saw the month-on-month occupancy rate data of the trial operation, he quickly warned the general manager to be more restrained, otherwise he would be criticized by nearby colleagues.

Doing business like this in southern Italy won't last long.

The opening ceremony was simple.

The industry was not of high standard and no celebrities attended the celebration.

There are a lot of Red Wolves fans.

Outside the gate, looking out, you can see a forest of fiery red maple leaves.

They called out the hero's name in the Roman dialect.

The long-lost "Song of Gao Qi" was sung.

The song is full of beautiful memories of the Chinese football stars.

The hotel general manager was confident: "Boss, this is not my credit, because you are the hero of Rome! That's why our work went so smoothly!"

Then he raised his finger.

Point to the snow-white statue at the hotel fountain.

The same "Seed of the Orient" sculpture as in the Roman Museum.

The base of the statue is engraved with a Chinese phrase: "Where dreams begin."

And a carefully framed khaki No. 23 jersey.

Gao Qi was stunned: "Then you have to pay more attention to those Lazio fans, especially during the derby."

"."

"Wait, you don't need to erase the mural No. 23 on the outer wall."

The hotel general manager quietly changed the subject.

We talked about interesting things about domestic hotels.

"Last December, I was working at a hotel in southern China, near the north gate of Chimelong."

"On December 12, the Guiyang-Guangzhou high-speed railway opened."

"Instantly, Chimelong was packed with people."

"On the third morning, I went to make rounds and found something very interesting."

"One group of tourists was very strange. Not all of them, but a group. When they left the hotel, they folded their quilts and cleaned the room. It was incredible!"

Talking and talking.

He also talked about the crazy excitement that the Guangxi March 2014rd Festival in brought to China's southern tourism market.

Finally, let's talk about the golden era of the Chinese Super League, when fans of each team "traveled with the team" and created a consumption boom in the accommodation industry.

The young assistant listened with great interest.

I wish I could quit my job and go to China to pursue a career in tourism.

"late."

"In the next three to four years, there will be a wave of popularity for local tourism, but that wave will fade quickly."

“The entire accommodation industry in Asia will enter the era of large-scale business travel.”

“High-end hotels that are part of real estate are gradually dying out.”

"And then"

The young assistant immediately gave up all thoughts and decided to work honestly in the agency.

Gao Qi didn't have the energy to go on and learn more, as he still faced many challenges on the football field.

Manchester City's upcoming schedule is no longer tight.

Pellegrini will ensure that all the main players are in the best condition to participate in the Champions League semi-finals.
